Availability

We will make reasonable commercial efforts to ensure that this web site is available 24 hours per day without any interruptions.
However, we reserve the right to make this web site unavailable at any time or to restrict access to parts or all of this website without notice.

Forums - Code of Conduct

The following are basic rules, and people need to use their common sense rather than have us spell out every scenario.
Treat others as you would like to be treated. Respect is the key.

Keep it clean and respectful.
There will be no flaming of any kind, joking around is fine, but being insulting to others just for your own amusement will not be tolerated.
We will not tolerate any kind of harassment.

Debating is fine, insulting is not. Keep debates on topic and do not insult any other user.

Please ensure that all posts are written in English.
This will allow the forum moderators to be able to see all posts and ensure that the forums are moderated correctly.

Do not post the same discussion more than once on a discussion forum or on many forums.
Duplicate discussions can be frustrating for other members, especially for those whose time and energy is limited.
Duplicate discussions will be deleted. Reposting the same message repeatedly can be interpreted as SPAM and could result in a permanent ban.

It is at the discretion of the moderators if a thread or post should be deleted,
so don't make threads asking why such and such a thread was deleted.

If a specific post of yours was edited or removed, it will be because you have broken either one of the main
forum guidelines here or a forum specific rule. We will be notifying you via a private message in this case.

A moderator's decision is FINAL. No questions asked.

Code of Conduct In-Game and elsewhere on the Cosmic Supremacy web-page

The same rules of conduct that apply in the Forum also apply In-Game, in the web-based Chat-Room, and everywhere else on the Cosmic Supremacy web-page.

Specifically, keep conversations clean and respectful. Treat other players as you would like to be treated.
Swearing, bad language or getting personal is not tolerated, and may result in a permanent ban from the game.
The same counts for inappropriate naming of planets, solar-systems, ships and fleets, or any other game-object in the Cosmic Supremacy client.

If you think you encountered a case of misconduct anywhere in the game, then please contact the Administrators, so that they can take the appropriate steps.

Whilst we reserve the right to monitor and take action upon inappropriate use of this web site
(including the posting of inappropriate or offensive material via the Forum or otherwise),
we cannot guarantee that this web site will not contain any content provided by third parties that is inappropriate,
offensive or otherwise objectionable.

Except as expressly provided in these terms and conditions, we expressly disclaim any further representations, warranties,
conditions or other terms, express or implied, by statute, collaterally or otherwise, including but not limited to implied warranties,
conditions or other terms of satisfactory quality, fitness for a particular purpose or reasonable care and skill.

We shall not be liable in contract, tort (including negligence), statutory duty or collaterally or otherwise arising out of or

economic losses (including loss of revenues, profits, contracts, business or anticipated savings), in each case,
